You had a HUGE amount of stress on your very young shoulders yesterday...no doubt it will take a few days for you to calm down.

Just be careful of your throgughts, You Did The Right Thing and in NO Way are you to blame for anything!!! So please try not to mental abuse yourself with 'what if's' or 'whys'....all that will do is torment you.

I'm off to work, so I'll be back on later and check in...until then....

Stand Tall and Be Proud Of Yourself!!!

It's totally nomal to second guess yourself but you did the right thing. Where your uncle is going, he will get the help he needs so that he won't prey on young girls. again.

You're going to be ok. It will take time to get adjusted to the new reality but you can do it. It take different people different amounts of time to get adjusted. Honestly, I don't think I'm fully adjusted after my daddy died 6 years ago but its working. I know you've had a ton of changes in the last couple years and it will be an interesting transition into your new chapters in life. Just hang in there and take one day at a time. If that's to much, don't be afraid to take even one minute at a time. I'm here for you girl. We all love you.

I'm sorry you're feeling so bad, both mentally and physically. It's understandable that you didn't sleep well in a strange new environment, with so much running through your mind. As the others have said, you absolutely did the right thing - not only for yourself, but for other young girls.

I know that you're dealing with a lot of self-blame right now, because your uncle will be punished for what he did. I would encourage you to ask yourself the following questions:

“If a friend told me that they had been sexually abused by their uncle and reported him to the police, would I blame them?"
"Would I think they should have done anything differently?”

Would you blame your friend if she had been your situation? We are often kinder to our friends than we are to ourselves.

I will send you a message with some other things to consider in the days ahead. Big hugs.

I’m glad u r ok but I’m sorry u didn’t sleep well and threw up. I hope u will feel better and get more adjusted to your new living situation and what u r dealing with. U did the right thing to get help and not take what your uncle was doing you. It’s very good u took care of yourself. Now for the adjustment.
